At its April meeting, the California Water Commission received an update from the CIM Group and representatives of the Southern California Water Bank Authority, proponents of the Willow Springs Water Bank Conjunctive Use Project. They sought to assure the Commission that the project was progressing steadily toward meeting the remaining Water Storage Investment Program (WSIP) requirements. … The last time the project proponents were before the California Water Commission, they had just completed an MOU with the Antelope Valley-East Kern (AVEK) Water Agency.  Since then, they have developed plans on how the project will deliver the ecological and emergency benefits as required by Proposition 1 and begun pre-development work focused on turnout options, conveyance capacity, and well fields.
